Neo-traditionalist, Shane Owens, known for his unwavering determination, has released a clever and laughable video for his new single “LIE.” Country Rebel hosted an exclusive debut of the video of the tongue-in-cheek song on their Facebook, garnering over 100,000 views within hours of posting.

Unwavering and determined, Amerimonte Records recording artist Shane Owens is geared up for his single “LIE,” which released digitally last week and impacts radio on April 30th. Billboard hosted an exclusive debut of the behind the scenes video for the tongue in cheek song and an exclusive sneak peek by Nashville Noise of the tune. “LIE” is available to download and on all streaming digital platforms.

“Lie is one of my favorite songs on the new album because it is simply one of those songs everyone can relate to. Not only is it humorous, but people really enjoy it,” said Shane Owens. “It really is an awful way to get a girl, but sometimes you have to tell a little lie to get her attention.”

Billboard Magazine wrote: “Fans of traditional country music have long been awaiting the arrival of an artist who just might bring back those sounds to the airwaves. If he has his way, Alabama newcomer Shane Owens will be leading that charge.”

Shane’s humorous, tongue-in-cheek aspect takes on the role of a “wingman” for a pal in the new single. It kicks off with a screamin’ guitar lick and pounding drums. A definite driver of a track with tons of groove and high energy, it sets the stage for a “night on the town” feel – and descends into a Saturday Night Live-worthy romp from there. Two guys, a pretty gal and a world of tone-deaf advice equal a blast of a record that pokes humor at the foolishness of men.

“This is so tough! Great thing is that we are realizing there is unbelievable talent out there, in the form of so many artists—writers and vocals!!” said Randy’s wife, Mary Davis-Travis. “This really makes you study the craft from another perspective—thank you for allowing Randy to do this!”

Amerimonte Records recording artist Shane Owens was presented the Independent Artist of the Year Award at MusicRow Magazine’s 16th Annual “Country Radio Meet & Greet” and “CountryBreakout Awards” which were held at the Listening Room in Nashville on Monday, February 5.

Shane Owens has shared an excerpt of a letter that he received from Gold Star widow about his song, "19", which tells the story of a local football star signing up for the military straight out of high school following the terror attacks on September 11, 2001. In the end he pays the ultimate sacrifice as the song alludes to a life cut short.

Don't forget to keep sending us your videos from your local bars and dance halls of y'all dancing to the song - God bless!

“With a pure-country baritone and a stubborn love of timeless, gravel-road themes, Alabama native Shane Owens has been waiting on his big break for a damn long time. It may have finally arrived with his new album, Where I’m Coming From..”-Chris Parton, Rolling Stone Country

“If you’re wondering where all the ‘old school’ country twang has gone, Shane Owens has it in spades right here. If actual country music doesn’t turn your crank, better look elsewhere.” – Chris Diestler, KQBA-FM

“Shane Owens has country in his blood…and I’m not talking about that manufactured “country” that’s coming out of Nashville right now. This is true country, reminiscent of Strait, Randy Travis and Clint Black!”-Kelly Green, WEIO
